Something cute for a sad timeline.

He's under witness protection, but wants to testify that the accused did willfully withold an English muffin with jam even though he asked nicely. It happened on more than one occasion indicating a pattern of malice.

Me: We've had Newton for almost 3 weeks and I don't think he knows his name* yet.

*What we call him: Newton, Newt, Baby Newt, Jimmy Newtron, Newtonium, Baby Boy, BeeBee, Sillyhead, Cuteton, No!

I'll do this if anyone wants me to...because my anxious brain can't get anything else done today. But there is a good chance my answers will be highly unserious...

So hard to focus today, but we held hands for a bit and that helped.
